The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has made significant strides in its ongoing campaign against illegal online gaming, successfully blocking 5,793 of the 7,747 sites detected, which accounts for approximately 74.78% of the total identified. This was announced by Ret. Gen. Raul Villanueva, Senior Vice President of PAGCOR’s Security Monitoring Cluster, during a public hearing on the Anti-Online Gambling Act held by the Senate committee on ways and means.
The illegal sites include a variety of online gambling formats such as e-sabong, offshore sites, and other unauthorized online games promoted through Facebook ads, mobile applications, and spam messages. Despite the progress, about 1,954 sites remain …
A Shadow of the Colossus movie has been in the works for more than a decade already, and despite nothing materializing yet, the project’s director has issued a hopeful statement about it. In a recent interview, Andy Muschietti said Shadow of the Colossus is a “masterpiece” and that he’s played it several times. Now, after 10 years, the “possibility of making [the movie] is opening up,” he said.
Muschietti told La Baulera del Coso on Radio TU that he’s been impressed by the script he’s seen, but whether or not he’ll actually get to make the movie may come down to financing.
“Shadow of the Colossus is a cult game, but to make a good film, there is a studio that puts the numbers and says how much it is worth to give the director $200 million, $150 million, or $100 million,” he …
Now that we’re done with The Final Shape’s world first raid race for Salvation’s Edge in Destiny 2, it’s time to get back to normal weekend activities, and that means the return of the Trials of Osiris. The high-stakes competitive mode is back this weekend, allowing you the chance to go Flawless and earn some serious, one-of-a-kind rewards. And like just about everything else in The Final Shape, Trials is seeing some significant changes from the way it used to work.
Bungie gave us a few details about those changes in its latest This Week In Destiny blog post. The specific new alteration is that Trials is getting a new currency, called Osirian Cipher. What exactly these will get you isn’t clear, though: the blog post only says, “This new and very aptly named cur…
During an earnings call this week, Warner Bros. confirmed that its games division had underperformed in 2024, and going forward, the company plans to refocus efforts on four key IP pillars, including Batman. After Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and MultiVersus led to a $300 million hit to its revenue, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav explained that Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC–in particular Batman–will be the company’s focal points.
The other big change here will be a reduced number of games in development, leading to a “steadier” gaming business, Zaslav explained during a financial call.
It’s officially the final Xur weekend of Destiny 2’s Lightfall era, and with The Final Shape launching next week, now is a good time to go on a spending spree. Legendary Shards will be removed once the expansion launches, but what does this mean for Xur? Former game director Joe Blackburn teased a Xur rework last year, suggesting a more exciting-experience with the arms dealer after the expansion goes live. For now, here’s where Xur is this week and what he has for sale. [Update: This trip is over, but Xur has returned for June 7-11–the first time in The Final Shape–and things have changed.]
This week you can find Xur on Nessus, in The Watcher’s Grave. For his weapon, Xur is offering SUROS Regime. Hunters can pi…
Newcastle United defender Florian Lejeune has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
The 27-year-old sustained what the club have described as significant damage to his left knee during Saturday s 1-0 Premier League home defeat to Crystal Palace.

Radja Nainggolan has criticised Mauro Icardi for his recent absence from the Inter side, claiming his team-mates paid the price for an off-field dispute.
Icardi was out of action for almost two months after being stripped of the Nerazzurri captaincy in February, with agent and wife Wanda Nara reportedly angering club officials with comments she made about the team before insisting her husband, sat in the stands, was available to play.
The Argentina forward finally returned with a goal and an assist at Genoa last week to boost Inter s hopes of Champions League qualification.
While Nainggolan is glad to have Icardi back, he does not believe the issues between himself and his wife and the club should have been allowed to impact the team.
Every player in a…
Competition: La Liga
Market: Real Madrid to beat Celta Vigo
Odds:
Spain s top league returns for yet another massive round of fixtures as every side in the league looks to pick up a vital three points from their game this weekend. With Barcelona building their advantage at the top, every side in the top-half is looking to keep pace with them, and with this in mind, Real Madrid travel to face Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Celta Vigo have been struggling this season and they are in need of a positive run of games that would help them to move away from the relegation zone. After 17 games they have won six, drawn three and lost eight, while they have scored 30 goals and conceded 25 times. This has all helped Celta to pick up 21 points for the season so far,…
The Football Association has welcomed the publication of a new anti-racism manifesto backed by Manchester City star Raheem Sterling.
England forward Sterling has spoken in favour of the campaign, from The Times, which called for radical changes to be made in football.
Up and down the game, across the world, black and Asian players, fans and coaches are subjected to racism, Sterling wrote in the newspaper. Every day, from park football to the Champions League.
Sterling himself has been a victim of alleged racist abuse this season, both while playing for City at Chelsea and also for his country during a Euro 2020 qualifier in Montenegro, and called for teams to be docked nine-points if their fans are found to be guilty of racism.

Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has warned Merseyside counterpart Simon Mignolet that he may face an uncertain Liverpool future.
Mignolet was hailed as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers when he arrived at Anfield from Sunderland in June 2013.
But the Belgium international s performance levels have dipped this season and Rodgers sent out a clear statement of intent by dropping him for last Sunday s Premier League clash at Manchester United in favour of Brad Jones, who has been promised a prolonged run in the first team.
Howard has sympathy for Mignolet and is blunt over what could happen next for the 26-year-old.
I ll be honest and I think it s a hard road back now, Howard is quoted as saying by the Daily…
